I was kind of a cross between Kristy and Mary Anne among ‘The Baby-Sitters Club’ characters. I was shy, but I was also kind of a tomboy, and I was really good at sticking my...

I don’t think it’s the job of filmmakers to give anybody answers. I do think, though, that a good film makes you ask questions of yourself as you leave the theatre.

To answer the question, though: I didn’t always want to direct. I just liked the idea of it. If a friend was making a short and needed someone who knew screen direction, I would jump...

For me, though, the fun is over when I get the job.

Even though I’ve done Hollywood films, I still don’t think of myself as a Hollywood actress.

And I learned a lot from working with this kid, and I think he’s gonna be a big star. Remember the name, Tim Dark, because he has something about his voice that’s different from all...

I always tried to live my life as though nothing changed. People would say, ‘You can have a Rolls-Royce’. I’d say to that, ‘What do I want with a Rolls-Royce when I can have a...

I’m a Canadian. Outside Canada I carry the flag. Canadian nationalism isn’t as insidious as American nationalism, though. It’s good natured. It’s all about maple syrup, not war.

I still give myself the right to be highly critical of others, though.

Even though I’m a leftist. I think the left eats its own.

There’s an old hymn called ‘How Can I Keep from Singing?’ That’s what writing feels like to me. I have to write. It’s intrinsic to who I am. So it was a natural choice for...
